Re: GSBN:SB codes resource

Dear Joyce,
In France building codes are not needed in order to use a building
material. In fact it is forbidden (for the authorities) not accept a
building material. Only the looks of the building can be prohibited
(regional style of roofing material, slope of the roof etc.)
Still, we (mostly Luc Floissac and Julien, both part of this list) are
working towards 'r?gles professionnels' . A set of guidelines made by
the building professionals themselves. This should make it easier to get
professional assurance (obligatory) and to make it easier to build more
public SB buildings.
We are in the very early stages. We'll let you know as soon as anything
more can be said on the subject.
Bye,
Andr?

Joyce,
I would like to point you at the Belgian SB list www.strobouw.be it is
quite complete and includes a lot of details. This should definitely be
one of the links.

And would be very glad to have everyone list their projects on the
International SB Registry - and TLS should also link to the other
lists (I
think there's one being developed for a European country - France?) and
theirs to TLS.
I place notes in TLS periodically about listing in the registry and
have
posted messages on the listservs, too. It's valuable information and
those
who have listed their projects are definitely making a helpful
contribution
to the collection of data. Many people tell me they have made contacts
or
found useful information via the Registry.
Let's keep working on this codes list and the registry. Thanks

Joyce,
The TLS site and the resource list are both excellent places. This
leads me to the following suggestion. How about adding a summary, per
country of houses presently registered on The strawbale registry
adding a few relevant statistics while saying this I ask you all to
please add any houses you have been involved with either by entering
the information yourself of prompting either the builder owner to do
so. I will do so myself as I see only one Dutch SB house registerred
whilst there are at least 30 most probably even more, I am now getting
into the happy fase that I learn about projects after they have been
built.

Rene, Marty and GSBN members,
The Last Straw journal published Marty's list of information about
strawbale
codes worldwide in TLS issue #54/ and this will be included on the
next
update of the resource guide TLS web site www.thelaststraw.org and in
print
format sometime this summer.
We can easily update the web site chart whenever there is new
information to
post and then publish it periodically in TLS. I would be willing to
give
this information a full page on the TLS web site with links to other
sites
that pertain to codes, when appropriate.
Would be good to have all the information in one central location and
linked.

Dear members and specifically Martin Hammer,
Based on the question coming form Lithuania. It might be a good idea
to
set up a net resource for all specific SB building codes and or
procedures in the various countries.
Basically what I am thinking of is a list of countries with further
subdivisions where necessary for counties etc. This should help a
great
deal in making clear what the official status is regarding the
acceptance of straw bale building.
Besides the code or url to the code it should contain a description
of
the status of the code the governing body when accepted etc. If at
all
possible links to official sites should be given.
I am not sure where to place the resource yet. If needed I could
support it on www.strobouw.nl given a completely separate page.
Kind regards
Rene Dalmeijer
